just a little background. stbx left me and moved in with ow. i filed for divorce, never wanted it though, but had to get the jump on him.that was in may of this year. after leaving me alone for the last 3 months, now he is getting nasty and threatening to sue for half of everything. i am losing my home to foreclosure. i already moved into a smaller place. he has threatened to sue me for everything else i have. he took everything out of the house that was worth anything. everything else was payments. now he wants the rest of it. he is saying he is going to sue me for using a pic i have of our wedding on a different site. i just want him to leave me alone. any advice would help. i feel like i am sinking into a hole.
-------------------- i don't think i will or can ever trust anyone ever again.

What does your attorney say? You need one to protect what you have.

You say you files for divorce and it is now three months later. Have you not followed through with it? As a woman, the laws are on your side in most circumstances. Take his threats as just that - threats. He's likely to come out on the short end of things, and perhaps he knows it. If he makes more than you do you can use his money to help you get a lawyer (or, at least, be reimbursed for it later). Get a lawyer now and get the ball rolling. In the meantime, ignore the threats made by your STBX, unless they include bodily harm, etc., then I would get a restraining order filed.

Do not engage him when he rants. Ignore him unless you meet him in court.
Good luck.

thats what i have been doing. told him to leave me alone and he has decided he doesn't have to. i just print off emails and will give to my lawyer. i also save them in a seperate file. he is getting so desperate to end this, that he has even said he wants visitation with my 14 year old son. not his. just trying to get some kind of reaction from me.

"Ignore him unless you meet him in court."
It's always better and less expensive to try and reach an out-of-court settlement. To get there it is necessary to have some communication. You can do it through your lawyers if you need to. If you do not communicate things can get seriously off the rails. It sounds like they have.
